When you are old enough,

To see Family Friends and others

Who dislike you, and treat such imposters

Just the same, if you are old enough;

To see careers, dreams and desires

Turn to dust, and laugh

About what you could have done,

Should have done; without regret.

If you can see yourself

As others see you

And not blame them, for what they cannot see.

And laugh with them and not at them;

Perhaps then you yourself are old enough

To say Yes! Whatever? Not why

Or If or But. Just Hello, Good bye

Perhaps then you are old enough. To die!
